Not-so-sunny days: ‘Sesame Street’ sues over movie trailer

By Avi Selk | Washington Post The creators of “Sesame Street” are suing over a new movie trailer that they claim suggests certain puppets live depraved, brutal lives when offstage — snorting hard drugs through licorice straws, selling sexual favors to humans and succumbing to gun violence. Set for release in August, “The Happytime Murders” does not actually feature Big Bird, the Cookie Monster or any other resident of 123 Sesame Street, where puppets have been teaching children basic math and decency since 1969. But the movie is directed by the son of the late Muppets creator Jim Henson and is set in a fictional Los Angeles, where former stars of a children’s puppet show are being gunned down for unknown reasons. “What really goes down when kids aren’t … [Read more...] about Not-so-sunny days: ‘Sesame Street’ sues over movie trailer

Cities around the US are flooding on sunny days — here’s what it’s like
source Kevin Loria/Business Insider Sea level rise is threatening coastal cities around the world. If you live in a city like Miami, New York City, or Charleston, the evidence is apparent if you head to the right neighborhood during high tides – especially those known as king tides. These are the highest tides of the year, and they coincide with full moons during spring and fall. King tides themselves aren’t caused by sea level rise, but as the highest tides of the year, they show how sea level has already risen over the past century – the neighborhoods they flood on sunny days now didn’t flood like this decades ago, even during high tides. More importantly, high and king tides are a preview of what’s to come as seas continue to rise. What happens during particularly high tides now will happen on a regular basis in the future. As sea level rises, waters come back up through storm drains and wash over barricades. They flood houses and … [Read more...] about Cities around the US are flooding on sunny days — here’s what it’s like
Sweden set for sunny end to October
Blue skies in central Stockholm. Photo: Shutterstock Meteorologists have predicted sunny weather and temperatures of up to 17C across Sweden in the coming days. Despite the daylight hours getting fewer and fewer, Swedes can at least look forward to a few sunny days this week. The national weather agency SMHI said that the temperatures will be in double figures. Tuesday should see the mercury 17C in some parts of the country, with Stockholm expecting sunshine and 16C. "It's been much warmer than usual over the past few days," meteorologist Therese Fougman told the TT news agency. She explained that the increasing temperatures were due to a high-pressure system moving between Portugal and Russia, meaning warm winds from the south west were passing up into Sweden. The news will surely come as a welcome relief to Sweden's northern half, which has already seen a deal of snow, and for those on the west coast who saw flooding over the weekend. … [Read more...] about Sweden set for sunny end to October
